Got Wachovia/Well Fargo? Good news, till tomorrow

you bastards w/ wachovia on the east coast only get this special I guess, my wachovia accounts were converted over to wells last year.

I'd take a flight just to take advantage of this though, are there any maximums you can hold in the account?
I've been with Wachovia for years for personal and business. Everything I do is still Wachovia, nothing in Well's name, only diff I see is where some stuff with say Wachovia a Wells Fargo Company (or along those lines). I'm guessing maybe some smaller centers got switched to a new Wells operation as I've seen that with other banks in mergers/buyouts where they'll leave some intact and some switched over and ones that get switched everything is converted to the new company (checks etc).

And yeh they've had this savings account deal for awhile, I know b/c I have it lol, but it's nothing special, sounds good but just a marketing gimmick.
 


Wow, you guys have it bad. I'm pissed my savings are only getting just under 5%. This is in Australia mind you.

You know you can open a new netbank saver account online, and transfer your old funds into it every 3 months to take advantage of the promotional rate right? 6.25% ftw :D
 
I was about to say just go buy 1 million candy bars tomorrow at every grocery store in the area and do each a separate debit transaction? hurrr

edit: but props to hack for trying to clue us in on a possibly sick deal

Don't you need to be a new customer or can you just apply online and it adds additional netbank saver accounts into your netbank account?

Enjoy that while it lasts, once your housing bubble pops your interest rates are gonna drop like a rock like ours did. I remember getting 5-6% back in '06, those were the days.
 
I actually made a Way2Save account the other day... set it up to transfer $100 a month (the max) and like you said, $1 goes in for every debit transfer... pretty nice. Didn't realize there would be a 5% interest rate, was just trying to save some extra $..
 
Ok, I knew this was too good to be true and there would be a catch. This is what I found.

You can’t just deposit money at will into the Way-2-Save savings account. In order to get money into it, you can: (1) deposit up to $100 a month directly, (2) automatically have $1 moved from your attached checking account into the Way-2-Save account for each debit card purchase, online billpay transaction, or other debit deductions.

Lots of discussion about this over at Fatwallet.

A whopping $100 bones a month deposit allowed up to a $300 balance ... ballin. lol.

That was posted in 2008. Details still the same?
